Anacostia just raised the bar—literally. Nestled inside the popular DCity Smokehouse, The Whiskey Bar is bringing smooth pours, bold flavors, and undeniable energy to Southeast DC. It’s more than just a new place to grab a drink—it’s a celebration of culture, community, and craft.

Now open Wednesday through Saturday from 5 PM to midnight and Sundays from 1 to 9 PM, The Whiskey Bar is quickly becoming a destination for locals and visitors alike. The space channels speakeasy-style vibes with a distinctly modern edge—think dim lighting, curated sounds, and a menu that honors tradition while pushing boundaries.

Signature cocktails like the Marion Barry Smash pay homage to the neighborhood’s roots, while the whiskey list proudly features Black-owned brands and small-batch selections you won’t find just anywhere. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or just whiskey-curious, there's something here for every palate.

But what truly sets The Whiskey Bar apart is its mission. As a Black-owned small business, it’s deeply invested in the Anacostia community—not only serving up top-tier drinks but also helping fuel local pride and economic growth.
